REASONS FOR JUDGMENT

1                     This proceeding was heard at the same time as proceeding TAD 20/2007 in which judgment has just been delivered.

2                     It seeks leave to appeal from the judgment of Heerey J dismissing summarily a claim made against the respondents under the Administrative Decisions (Judicial Review) Act 1977 (Cth).

3                     There is no separate basis upon which this application for leave to appeal can be granted apart from those matters relied on in proceeding TAD 20/2007. For that reason, this application must also be dismissed with costs.

I certify that the preceding three (3) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Marshall.
